High quality quasi-two-dimensional organic–inorganic hybrid halide perovskite film for high performance photodetector

Abstract

Two-dimensional (2D) Ruddlesden–Popper perovskites have attracted extensive attention in photodetectors (PDs) due to their exceptional optoelectronic properties. The performances of PDs show extremely strong dependence on defects in 2D perovskites. Herein, high quality and less defective BA2FAPb2I7 perovskite films were obtained by a simple one-step spin coating method with rare earth doping assisted crystal growth. Furthermore, BA2FAPb2I7 perovskite films were used as photoresponsive materials to fabricate architectural simplicity photoconductor PDs. Under 405 nm laser illumination, the PDs show remarkable balance detect properties with a low dark current of 5.1 × 10−11 A, a large on/off ratio of 2.2 × 105, a high responsivity (R) of 4.51 A/W, an outstanding detectivity Dshot* of 4.31 × 1013 Jones, and a response speed of 80 μs/76 μs. The R and Dshot* of the PDs are outstanding in the reported quasi-2D perovskite PDs with the same structure. Our work not only paves an indubitably feasible way for fabrication of quasi-2D perovskite PDs via improving their natural material properties but also provides a clear direction for further enhancing the performance of other perovskites optoelectronics.
